Chapter 23 Mingxuan Lou Shulei
Liu Jing has always been extremely indifferent to people and things, but she smiled at this moment. Although she cared about her younger brother very much, her personality rarely spoke comforting and talking. However, her younger brother did not have that sense of strangeness and estrangement towards her, which made her very happy.
"Xiaocheng, come in!" After saying that, without waiting for Liu Cheng to answer, Liu Jing pulled Liu Cheng's hand and entered the room.
When Liu Cheng saw this elegant room, he recalled Liu Jing's strength and felt aroused in his heart: "Sister, what level of strength have you reached now?"
Liu Jing sat down on a stool, smiled when she heard this, and said, "The Heavenly Book is the second level, huh?"
Her expression was suddenly shocked. She had never had close contact with Liu Cheng since she was five years old, but now she sensed that there was a fluctuation of fire energy on Liu Cheng.
"Brother, have you practiced the Fire-type Heavenly Book?" Liu Jing was shocked. Liu Cheng practiced the Heavenly Book, but no one in the Liu Mansion knew about it now. The reason for the shock was that the innate lack of fire walkers was unable to sense the fire element, so it was naturally impossible to practice the Fire-type Heavenly Book, but the situation on Liu Cheng subverted all this!
There is nothing to hide from Liu Jing, and now it is impossible to hide it. Liu Cheng said truthfully: "Yes."
"Then your illness? Has it been cured?"
"That's right."
Liu Jing had always been calm and calm, and at this time he couldn't help but stand up suddenly from the stool: "Xiaocheng, you - your illness is really cured?"
"Sister, really, I was cured by the illness five years ago, and I also started practicing the Heavenly Book in five years." Liu Cheng said with a smile.
At this time, Liu Jing looked extremely happy. She was really concerned about Liu Cheng, but she was just acting more implicitly.
"By the way, Xiaocheng, what strength are you now?" Liu Jing's tone became lighter, which was very different from the indifferent past.
She would be surprised to tell her sister about her true strength. Liu Cheng smiled so naively, hiding his strength a little: "Addressing level seven!"
Liu Jing laughed: "Brother, you really brought surprises to your sister today. I didn't expect that you were still a little genius in studying and practicing. After five years of progress, your sister is not as good as you. Alas, my sister is jealous of you!" Although Liu Jing said jealous, the surprise could not be concealed.
"If my sister knew that I was an eighth-level apprentice and was comparable to a martial artist in martial arts, I would probably be even more surprised!" Liu Cheng smiled secretly.
"Sister, don't tell others about me!" Liu Cheng said seriously. He trusted and kinship with Liu Jing, but he didn't want others to know his secret.
Liu Jing heard this and joked, "Brother, you still know how to hide your strength." But she didn't expect that Liu Cheng also hid her strength.
But she pondered for a moment and said, "Where is the father and mother?"
Thinking of Liu Hao's attitude towards him since childhood, Liu Cheng was unhappy. Liu Hao gave him the impression that he was almost the same as a stranger. But when he thought of his mother Ling Qing, he felt warm in his heart, but he knew that if Ling Qing knew, Liu Hao would definitely know, and then it would make the whole family know.
Liu Cheng shook his head firmly: "Sister, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed with this family. I don't want to expose my secret to a family that cannot bring warmth and trust. So sister, I don't want you to tell others about my affairs. Of course, if it's discovered by others in the future, there's nothing we can do."
Liu Jing looked sad. She knew Liu Cheng’s childhood experiences clearly. She nodded: “Brother, don’t worry, my sister will keep it secret for you. Haha, but I still want to thank you for your trust in my sister!”
Liu Cheng didn't want to talk more about this, so he changed the subject: "Sister, has there been a banquet in Xiangcheng recently?"
Liu Jing said in surprise: "Xiaocheng, do you know too?" But apologies quickly appeared on her face. Indeed, Liu Cheng has never been valued, so she thought that she would not invite him to hold this banquet in Xiangcheng. But she thought that saying this might have a certain psychological blow to Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng didn't care about these things, he just smiled faintly: "Sister, I didn't invite me at this banquet. I just heard it accidentally. Sister, you should be invited, right?"
Seeing that Liu Cheng's expression was very natural, Liu Jing secretly felt relieved and smiled and said, "Well, my sister is indeed invited, but if you don't want your sister to go, then my sister won't go!"
Liu Cheng shook his head and smiled, "Sister, of course I want to go. The reason I asked you is because I want to go too!"
Liu Jing was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled and said, "Okay, my sister will take you there. Don't worry, brother, if you have my sister here, no one dares to be rude to you!"
※※※※※※
In the evening, a gorgeous carriage drove out from the Liu family and slowly drove towards the city.
The wheels were spinning, and the carriage was moving forward slowly.
After passing several streets and intersections, the carriage finally stopped in a luxurious restaurant, Mingxuan Building.
Mingxuan Tower is a very noble and elegant name, and this restaurant is also the most luxurious and most consumed restaurant in Xiangcheng.
Mingxuan Building is about 20 meters high, but it covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters. The restaurant is mainly white and has gold colors, making the entire restaurant look extremely brilliant but not vulgar.
The restaurant is divided into three floors. At this moment, each floor of Mingxuan Building is brightly lit, which is obviously particularly spectacular in this evening.
"Miss, the young master is here!" The groom driving jumped down lightly.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and the white and slender hands stretched out.
"Brother, this is where the banquet is held!" As the quiet woman's voice sounded, a woman in white walked out of the carriage.
Behind her, a boy about ten years old followed.
Seeing this Mingxuan Building, Liu Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's so extravagant!" He only felt that the big restaurants he saw in his previous life were simply a witch.
The restaurant's door is three meters high, and is made of precious sequoia. It is two and a half meters below, while the top half meter is half arched.
Two beautiful welcome ladies stood at the entrance of the restaurant. When they saw Liu Jing and Liu Cheng coming, they smiled sweetly on their faces and said warmly: "Welcome!"
One of the beauties blinked at Liu Cheng and chuckled, "What a cute little brother!"
Liu Cheng looked depressed, while Liu Jing said to the woman: "Thank you!"
The two stepped into the restaurant. The floor of the restaurant was covered with red carpets, and a small fountain in the center. The layout of the restaurant gave people a completely new feeling. There was a very beautiful vine on the walls and some key places, which made the entire restaurant feel fresh and comfortable.
Liu Jing walked towards the left side with a familiarity. After a moment, she took Liu Cheng to the stairs.
Two cute girls were also standing in front of the stairs. Seeing that Liu Jing and Liu Cheng were dressed appropriately, they also made a little commitment and smiled and said, "Welcome!"
Liu Jing took out a gold-burned invitation from his arms and wrote: "Aristocratic Banquet, Shu Lei".
Shu Lei is the daughter of the lord of Xiangcheng City, and this aristocratic banquet was initiated by her.
"Two dear guests, I wish you a happy banquet!" The two welcome ladies said with a smile.
The banquet was held on the third floor, and Liu Jing and Liu Cheng came directly to the third floor.
The third floor is also spacious. Through a row of pillars wrapped in green vines, Liu Jing and Liu Cheng walked towards the main hall on the left side of the third floor.
The door of the main hall is made of purple crystal and is crescent-shaped.
Liu Jing took Liu Cheng's hand, stepped forward, and pushed open the crescent door.
Liu Zhi immediately saw the situation in the hall. This hall was the banquet hall where the banquet was held this time. The interior walls were made of fragrant wood, which gave the entire hall a natural fragrance.
There is a main table in the center of the hall, and some round tables are placed around it. At this moment, all kinds of food, fruit drinks and pastries are available on the table.
Nearly a hundred people had gathered in the hall at this time. These people were children of nobles from Xiangcheng, and most of them came from three major families.
The appearance of Liu Jing and Liu Cheng immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and most of the eyes were concentrated on Liu Jing.
The eyes were envious, admiring, jealous and even some bad intentions, but when these people saw Liu Cheng, they were very surprised.
Liu Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to the attitude of those people. He came to this banquet today just to break some conspiracies. As for the little care of the noble children, he was too lazy to pay attention to them. To put it bluntly, these people's scheming seemed a bit naive in the eyes of Liu Cheng's "children" who have been human beings in both lives, especially some people so obviously express what they think in their hearts on their faces.
Liu Cheng was only ten years old at this time. Although he had a good appearance, as a child, he could only be considered cute. Except for some girls who like children who blinked at Liu Cheng, most of the others chose to ignore Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng noticed a girl in the crowd, wearing a snow-white noble robe. Although she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, her beautiful peaks and valleys on her chest were faintly visible in the folds of the robe close to her chest.
Her long hair is black and soft, her plain hands are as smooth as snow, her delicate nose is slightly erect, and the most attractive thing is her light blue eyes, which look like the sky and the beautiful.
She smiled and walked towards Liu Jing and Liu Cheng: "Sister Liu Jing, you are finally here!"
Liu Jing has always been very cold when facing others, but when she saw this woman, she showed a smile in her eyes, but she still didn't speak.
Liu Cheng judged that Liu Jing had a good impression of this girl, but Liu Jing's feelings for her were definitely not as good as her. Although Liu Jing's attitude towards the woman was gentle, she did not speak, but Liu Jing said a lot to Liu Cheng when she was at home.
This woman was noticed by everyone in this hall, and Liu Cheng roughly guessed her identity, and he must be the organizer of the banquet, Shu Lei.
However, Liu Cheng also noticed a little girl following Shu Lei. She was wearing a lotus-colored gauze shirt and was similar to Liu Cheng's age. Qingshui had a face, a perky nose, a slightly red mouth, a pair of big eyes, and a sleek and obedient face, which was extremely cute.
